SOME THINGS THE FARMERS
WANT. c.0


The Inter-States Convention of
farmers, which assembled in the
city Of Atlanta, was a body
Of able men, and represented
thirty-eight per cent. Of the en-
tire agricultural population Of this
country. The languishing condition
of agriculture in the South-the causes
which produce it-and the hope OF
finding a remedy, brought these men
together. 1t was a truly representa-,
tive body, and its action-free from
political motive and unswerved by
lobby influence or manipulation-may
be accepted as the calm expression OF
the deliberate judgment of the great
body of Southern farmers. Promi-
nent among its declarations may be
quoted the following, in brief:
l. It declared in favor Of SO amend
ing the National Banking laws as to
remove the restrictions on State Banks,
and in favor Of the repeal Of that
clause which prohibits the banks from
accepting land as security for the
loan of money.
2. 1t declared in favor of advancing
the Department Of Agriculture to the
dignity Of a cabinet position.
3. 1t declared in favor of the Inter
States Commerce Act, as a wise and
patriotic measure and Of such added
legislation as may be required to per
feet the law and make it effective.
4. 1t declared in favor Of influencing
proper legislation by Congress in the
interest of Southern agriculture, and
to that end provided for representa-.
ton in the Farmers Congress which
is to assemble this fall.
5. 1t declared in favor of electing
no nan to a Legislature or to Congress
who would not use his best efforts to
relieve the agriculturists Of the bur.
dens Of undue taxation.
G.. 1t declared that the true policy
of the Southern farmer is to make his
farm self-sustaining and make his cot.
ton his surplus.
I. 1t declared in favor Of the organ.
ization of the farmers.
S. 1t declared that the crop-lien and
chattle mortgage system was a great
evil and should be abated, and that
the farmers throughout the South
should use all legitimate. influences
with the Legislatures for the ina,
abolition Of this pernicious and ruin
Gus system.
I 8. 1t declared it's unqualified oppo
stion to gambling in futures of al
agricultural products and in favor Of
making it a high crime and misde
meanor. - ~
10. 1t declared in favor Of demand
ing of the Government of the United
States a financial policy that will cease
boarding unbounded wealth in oul
National Treasury, thereby holding
the rate Of taxation above the needs
Of the Government and the ability Of
the people and ~depriving us Of a just
amount of circulating medium.
These are the principles, in part
which the intelligent farmers of the
South hold very dear, and they vii
work zealously to have them recog
nized.

New York Mercury: doctor q

making q grand tour was asked, "what
was the most remarkable thug you saw
in Europe?' 81 have no hesitation in
answering that question:" he reioined.
"By far the most interesting and remark

tion was a n~lckle-plsted corpse"
"a nickle-plated corpse!" repeated his
audience of five, in vide awake amaze-
ment. "What are you giving us, doctor p
The group were Standing in Cables
Broadway place, and when o general
m%oistening of lips had been performed
the European tourist proceeded in sub
stance as follows: Electro or nickle
plating is the latest and promises to be
with the dead. The corpse that | saw
80 treated was that OF a young man-an
only son, whose doting parents had the
body thus preserved. l had heard of
the case in London, and as 1 am much
interested in the subject of the DISPOSE
tion OF the body after death l obtained q
letter of Introduction and was favored
with q view of the brililRnt body. The
method ID simply this: The body is
washed with alcohol and eprinkled over
with line graphite powder to insure the
perfect ~cunduction of electricity. 1t is
then PLACED In a bath OF metallic soiu-
tion containing q piece OF metal-silver,
nickel or gold-to be used. To this is
attached the positive pole of a strong bat
terry, the negative pole is applied to the
body, and a fine film of the metal OF once
begins to cover the body perfectly and
evenly. This may be kept up till the
coating attains any desired thickness.
L this process there does not appear
to be any valid objection. In effect it
transforms the body into o beautiful
statue, In which form, features and even
expression are perfectly and startlingly
preserveds The body, being hermeti-
cally sealed within Its metal Enclosure,
merely dries up and assumes the aspect
of q mummy. This method obviates
many objections which have been urged
against other methods of dlsposlng OF
the dead, and at the same time meets
the wishes of those whose sentiment, if
nothing else, inclines them to favor the
ordinary way of burial.
The young man whose corpse / saw
thus treated a%ccldently shot himself last
partridge season. He was engaged to be
married to q very loving and amiabie
young lady. / was told that she paid
regular visits to his brilliant remains as
o religious enthusit st would visit o
shrine. Ordinarily the body is covered
by a shroud OF embroidered work of the
young lady's handiwork as it lies in its
long, oval iron urn"

to the following the applause was deaf.

II now claim to speak for the people
OF Dakota, without distinction OF party,
whose interests are suffering; whose IN

prises are crippled, whose litigants and

governed by a government that is neither
of the people, by the people nor for the

unjustly and illegally and unoonstitu-

every liberty and afflicted with every ln-
justice and form of tyranny named in
the declaration of Independence and re-
belled against by our forefathers of the
revolution. Shame on o government and
administration or a department. that
thinks more of an insignificant "trip OF

rights of a few struggling Indians; that
is more anxious about sectional or
partisan predominance than it is of the
most valuable interests OF the most sacred

The dispatch goes on to state that

was greeted with hearty congratulations
and compliments from scores who heard
him.

have iynched hum him or attempted to
do so.t
Early this morning Sheriff Peddler
brought him into town, and after secnr-
ing some assistance, started with him
TO some adjoining county having a Sc
cure jail.
The bad blood between the two men
was caused by personalities appearing in
each of the two papers. Both men final
iy became very abusive. On Thursday

About Hyenas," in which he called
Richardson a byena, closely allied to q
dog, q also called him a nocturnal

crime, and asserted that he could prove

and Willard met him and told him if he
published it he wonld kill. him. Richard
son carried out his threat of publication.
phe poem reflected upon the oharac-
ter of MIR. Willard and his wife.
Immediately after the publication
Richardson went prepared to meet the
consequences. They met at the barber
shop, and as given your reporter by an
eye witness, Richardson, on vacating
the chair, saw Willard standing near the
door. Willard thereon struck at Rich
ardson with q piece Of metai, afterwards
clinching him, when Richardson drew
his revolver and fred two shots which
took effect nea the heart. Willard turn
ed took two or three steps and fell, az
piring instantly.
At this writing the excitement has
almost subsidized and people are looking
upon it as the saddest affair in the his.
tory Of the village.

sidered quiet and in~offensive. Willard

gang that has done systematic thieying
for the last three years.
Regret has been expressed lie Wash.
ington that Dakota did not send at least
one company of her national guard to
the drill. Several regular army officers
for the northwest, who have been de-
tailed at various times to inspect the
Dakota national guard at their encamp-
ment, have spoken very highly of the
efficiency and excellent knowledge Of
tactics shown by the two regiments of
guards in Dakota.
Work was to have commenced Mon
day on the Sphinx county court house,
but intelligence was received from the
Western loan and lot company, of Obi
cago, Saturday evening, that they would

commissioners have been photographed
to meet at Redfeld to consider the mat
ter, as the contract for building has been
let and the court house must be built by
